What's happened?
Oleg Tinkov will leave the post of chairman of the board of directors Tinkoff Bank in the coming weeks. This will allow him to “focus on his health, which is now his main priority,” the appeal says.
Tinkov reports that he always considered his share in the capital of TCS Group Holding as a long -term asset, which he and his family would like to save in the future.
He began transferring the rights to own his shares in TCS Group to the family trust in October 2019. “This will allow you to maintain shares in the family under any possible circumstances, even in the case of my death,” Tinkov said.
According to the data for July 2019, Tinkov owned 40.4% of the group, another 6.5% of management, the remaining 53.1% are contacted on the exchange.
What is happening with Tinkov now
The businessman is in London, where he expects a trial of extradition in the United States. The US Ministry of Justice accuses him of concealing assets of $ 1 billion from taxes when leaving American citizenship in 2013. He faces up to 6 years in prison. We described in detail the plot of the prosecution here .
On March 6, Tinkov said that he was diagnosed with an acute form of leukemia. As The Bell found out , this may become the basis for refusing to issue the United States.
